SERVPRO believes that if a client has a time-sensitive project, all available departments should go out and help with the project. Recently, our SERVPRO location in Pella & Grinnell had a fire in Pella’s Townsquare that caused a wide range of damage ranging from a general clean/odor removal to a complete loss in one of the buildings. Our trained business development team from our multiple office locations rushed to assist our production crews to get started on services to restore these businesses to preloss condition to ensure they could recover from this setback as fast as possible. When you choose SERVPRO, you select a dedicated company to relieve this stress. We want the client to redirect their focus in other aspects that will get them back on their feet.

Contents are cleaned in our Ultrasonic Tank and then placed in this dryer for a more complete process. This system allows for contents to be cleaned efficiently and thoroughly, expanding our range of restorable contents.

We are here to help you recover contents after fire damage. When a fire effects your home or business and you believe that you have to throw all of your contents away due to smoke and soot damage know that we are here specializing in these recovery services.  This picture shows before and after of a couple items that have extensive damage. We were able to work our SERVPRO content cleaning services on these items and return them to the owner. The heavy soot accumulation on the surfaces of these items is extensive but we have technology available to clean these items. Our team of trained cleaning technicians will evaluate the items affected and be able to determine their clean ability before beginning services.   We are here to make it "Like it never even happened." 

We are here to help mitigate after fire and water situations.  Insulation will hold smoke and odor after a fire.  If the insulation is deemed affected it needs to be removed.  This picture shows a member of our crew working to remove the blown in insulation from the attic area.  The insulation is sucked out of the space and put into a dumpster to be disposed of properly.  We are here to help make it "Like it never even happened" and are your mitigation experts when it comes to fire, water, and mold.

These jars were cleaned after a fire.  They had heavy smoke and soot damage.  We used the Ultrasonic machine to dip and soak these in.  They were then rinsed and air dried.  When a fire happens it can be divesting and lots of contents would thought to have to be disposed of but with today's technology we are able to save many of our clients contents.  Please give us the chance if disaster happens to make it "Like it never even happened."

This picture shows one of our technicians cleaning up debris in a house after a fire.  The insulation from the ceiling above and the drywall had to be bagged and removed from the house for disposal.  The fire department had broken down the ceiling to get to the ceiling joists in the attic above to check for hot spots.  We were called in to clean up the debris.  It is important to wear proper personal protective equipment to protect yourself when working with materials possibly affected by fire.  We also bag up the materials to contain the mess from being spread through the other work areas. 

This picture shows the heat line and the amount of soot in a garage following a small fire.  When there are so many different kinds of surfaces and types of materials that are affected by a fire you want to have the professionals come in and clean.  There are different techniques that we use to clean after a fire and the type of soot even determines also how we are going to clean the objects. Trust the professionals to clean after a fire.

This business had a fire caused by a lighting strike that came through the building and started their auto repair side of the business on fire.  We were called in as the Large Loss Response Team. We arrived on scene right away and began setting equipment.  This building has heavy fire, smoke, and soot damage and odor.  We will set many different pieces of equipment in this building and we will get business back up and running as quickly as possible. 

This fire was at an apartment building.  The bathroom exhaust fan malfunctioned and caused a fire.  We came in after this picture was taken and sealed the roof to prevent further damage and started to remove debris and charred material.  The other apartments were affected by water and soot.  We cleaned up the affected areas and ran deodorizing equipment.

This is the owner, Brian Meyer, checking an air cavity between the roof cap and ceiling joists for smoke infiltration and soot following a fire in an adjacent building. The smoke and soot transferred into this building through holes in the brick mortar. It affected all walls, floors and ceilings. He is checking for the proper method to seal this area so that there is no odor transfered into the living space following our restoration work.

One of our large loss trucks responding to a fire in our area the day after the event. We work hard to make it like it never ever happened. This fire effected multiple apartments. We brought in 3 large commercial dumpsters and a man lift to help with the project. We have the availability of equipment for any size disaster. We boarded up the structure right away to protect the structure from further damage.

These stairs have been damaged by soot from smoke after a small fire inside of a home. This carpet has had a couple swipes of our carpet cleaning machine.  You can see where the machine has gone and how the carpets were effected.  The homeowner is very pleased with our final work when we finished.
